Octopath Traveler Battle System

Archeia · 2018-09-17T21:28:31+0900

Olivia, Yanfly and I had been working on an Octopath Traveler Battle System Collection for quite a while now. It includes all features you can see in Octopath Traveler such as: Weakness Display Boost Mechanic Break Shield System Weapon Swap Side Status UI Victory Sequence Turn Order You can grab all of them here: https://fallenangelolivia.itch.io/ This plugin only works on RPG Maker MV 1.6.1+ For the best compatibility, place this plugin close to the BOTTOM of your plugin list. This is to ensure the features of this plugin will be used and that other plugins do not override this one. Click to expand... Frequently Asked Questions: 1.) Isn't this just CTB? Isekai Dizzy summarized this better: If it is anything like Octopath, which knowing Olivia's track record, it will be exactly like Octopath or possibly even better, then on a surface level, it will look and feel like STB. But as it is not STB and called OTB for a reason, then all the changes will be under the hood. CTB: AGI is everything. If an actor has enough AGI, the actor will skip ahead of the turns of other battle members despite having had its turn. An actor can have multiple actions before a slower battle member can even have one. There is no such thing as battle turns in CTB. Manipulating the turn order is done completely through AGI. AGI becomes the most OP stat in CTB. STB: AGI is not everything but still a big deal. In STB, each battle member only has one action per battle turn to keep everything fair. The AGI of the battle members determines their orders for that battle turn. If the AGI of any battle member changes, the turn order is reordered to go from fastest so slowest. Once all battle members have had one action, they move onto the next turn. Manipulating the turn order is also done through AGI. OTB: AGI is not everything nor that big of a deal but it far from being the worst stat. AGI determines the initial turn order of the current battle turn and the next battle turn. Changing the AGI of any of the battle members midway through the battle will not affect the orders of either the current or next turn but instead, only the turn after the next turn and so on. Manipulating the turn order has to be done completely through skill effects. Click to expand... 2.) There's a virus! It's a false positive. It's perfectly safe. To Submit a Bug Report To make a bug report, simply report it in this thread. Chances are, I will find out about the bug in this thread than by making one in the JS Support forum. Disclaimer: We're super busy and we won't have time to do compatibility fixes or checks AT ALL. Please test it out yourself and ask the respective scripter for any issues that may happen. >>>NOTE!<<<HOWEVER, before you make a bug report! Download all the latest version of the plugins (and installing them properly). If you don't have the patience to do that, I won't share my patience to fix the bug. If you still get the bug after updating all the plugins and installing them properly, continue on and using this template: Here is the template to submit a bug report: Plugin Name: (What is the name of the plugin?) Error Message: If you received an error message: Emulate the bug in an empty new project. Press F8 when you receive it to open up the debug console. On the console tab, copy/paste the error log and paste it here. If you post a screenshot, host it on imgur.com or another website because the images posted here are tiny and I can't read it. How to Replicate Bug: In order for me to fix a bug properly, explain to me IN DETAIL, how you managed to get it to occur. If I cannot replicate the bug, I may ask you to upload a copy of your game's project for me online through either Mediafire, Dropbox, Mega.co or any other online hosting provider. Do NOT deploy the game. After doing so, it's best if you send it through private message if you don't want others rummaging through your game's files. Other: Post screenshots of the bug, screenshots of your plugin list, videos also help, etc. Anything that will make it more clear for me will help me out. Thank you for your cooperation!

Lots of big changes made to the sample project and OctoPack Battler today!

Bug Fixes!
- Weakness Display: Hidden enemies at battle start will have the weakness display hidden instead of fading out.
- Battle System OTB: Hidden enemies at battle end will no longer cause the battle to error
New Things!
Let's first start with the Victory Sequence UI.

Two changes have been made to the victory UI. The first is that the gauges now fill up smoothly with smaller numbers. During a previous version, if the numbers gained were too small, they would update in only segments. Now, they update based on timing. The second update is now, you can use the mouse button to click the victory UI and advance forward instead of needing to rely on the keyboard for Z or X.

The next update is for the Boost Point System. This plugin is made to be compatible with the newest plugin:

Item Concoctions is added to the OctoPack Battler Sample Project, too!

Added to the database are 8 primary concoction components, 8 secondary concoction components, and 64 result effect item combinations that they can result into!

The Apothecary class in the sample project now has the Concoct ability, too.

You can buy Concoction components from this new NPC added into the sample project.

Take your time exploring the new features!

Some more content has been added into the sample project and OctoPack Battler today! Original Topic.

An update has been made to Order Turn Battle. I've received some reports of certain Yanfly's Buffs & States Core Lunatic Mode codes failing to work properly with Order Turn Battle. I don't know why this happens, but I suspect it has to do with turn order calculation. This comes as a big surprise to me because I use a lot of Lunatic Mode notetags inside the sample project, too, and they have been working fine as far as I can tell. But since I cannot know how every single user is placing their notetags inside their projects, I have made a fail safe to organize it properly to prevent future problems with it.

That is the only major change I have done to the plugin code itself. Now, I will explain the new content added to the sample project!

The Trickster is the newest class I've added to the sample project. It has 8 new skills added to it!

This is Yanfly's Jump Tips & Tricks added into the sample project to show it does indeed work with OTB despite what many people claim otherwise. This skill makes the user jump into the air for 2 turns, becoming untargetable. After 2 turns is up, the user falls down from the sky and lands on the selected enemy, dealing critical damage to it.

The Trickster is a class that brings in a lot of mechanics from the Persona series. It can give an ally a state that makes a special effect: if the ally hits an enemy's weakness, that ally will gain an extra action immediately after, as long as the enemy's weakness hasn't been exploited already during that turn.

There is a hidden passive effect, too: if all enemies become stunned by having their Break Shields reach 0, the Trickster will ask you if you want to do an All-Out Attack, which brings in the total ATK power of the party to deal damage to the enemy.

If you want to add the Trickster to your party, you can find him in the bar in the sample project!

This is a pretty unique class! It also shows the type of potential gameplay that can happen with different mechanics added to it like Persona's 1-More system and All-Out Attack. Please take your time exploring the the new features!

Some Big Updates!

Order Turn Battle System Script Updates
- OTB's turn order now flashes across all selected battlers in synchronized fashion. Before, if you selected one, then selected another, with a certain delay, they can become unsynchronized. Now they should flash at the same time!
- OTB has also been updated for compatibility with KEL YEP Dragonbones Integration.
- This is thanks to working with Yanfly and Ækashics on making GreenKel's Dragonbones Integration work with the OctoPack Battler plugin. The video shown above also showcases Ækashics' beautiful work: the Crab King Karkinos! Watch it fight against the heroes of RPG Maker MV! If you are using Dragonbones, you can download the crab king from here! It's so big and tasty!
New Scripts!
The Battle Effects Pack 2 plugin adds some new functionality to the battle system, including a more visible critical hit effect and rolling numbers. There are also lots of new notetag effects, inspired by Granblue Fantasy, added with it! Also some of the passive effects from Octopath Traveler have been added here, too, like overflow for HP and MP and switching ATK and MAT. I have some classes planned for the future that I may add to the sample project to utilize these new effects.

Sample Project Update
A new shop option is also added to the sample project! You can talk to the armor shop keeper and selected Accessories II to get a list of the new items with the Battle Effects Pack 2 notetags to test out. The Stamina Rings will give more ATK and MAT power depending on how high the wearer's HP percentage is while the Enmity Rings do the opposite: lower HP percentage means more power. The Vitality Ring allows the wearer to heal more than their MaxHP and the Capacity Ring lets the wearer recover more than their MaxMP. The Reversal Ring swaps ATK and MAT and the Switcher Ring swaps DEF and MDF!
